This session delves into how the designers of the built world can help alleviate hunger. We will be examining the changing food supply chain and how methods of food production can be incorporated into urban and suburban developments. You will learn how your building design can help reduce or eliminate food waste.
Can creators of the built world bring Peace and Justice to the planet? Can they create institutions that can reduce the fear of violence and create safety where individuals can flourish? Yes, YOU can. The potential within buildings, developments and cities can represent society’s commitment to justice and democracy. This course will examine case studies where architecture and design have changed lives and promoted safety and peace and has strengthened institutions for the benefit of humanity.
This course addresses the UN Sustainable Development Goal for Affordable and Clean Energy and how the creators of the built world can facilitate this goal. Energy is key to a sustainable world and buildings are the largest consumers of energy and producers of CO2. Join us to learn how you can create buildings that use less energy, make energy affordable and accessible and even how a factory can be a forest.

Many people who encounter poverty, as well as related problems such as homelessness, crime, discrimination, mental illness, violence, and other societal issues experience persistent, and sometimes debilitating ‘toxic’ trauma. This presentation suggests that people can be assisted by designing empathetically for trauma, prioritizing strategies that support well-being and help preserve dignity. Through this course’s information and case studies, you will learn about the issues surrounding trauma and the guidelines of trauma-informed care, and the emerging principles of trauma-informed design that can help you create effective built environments that assist people in need.
